Wishlist Member for InfusionSoft Service – Review & Overview

Wishlist Member is one of the most powerful membership platforms with many external plugins and extensions that can even enhance the core functionality of Wishlist Member itself.

No membership platform is complete without a powerful integration with popular payment gateways, and although Wishlist Member integrates with multiple highly popular payment gateways, using an external service that was developed by Wishlist Products themselves can integrate Wishlist Member with InfusionSoft in the most complete and powerful way.

The Regular Payment Gateway Integration Process

Before we dive into what Wishlist Member for InfusionSoft is doing lets go over the regular Wishlist Member integration with InfusionSoft or any other payment gateway.

The registration process:

When integrating Wishlist Member with a payment gateway, the customer’s flow is similar to the following steps:

Step #1 – Customer clicks on a purchase button

Step #2 – Customer is redirected to the payment gateway where he fills-in all the information in the payment gateway

Step #3 – Customer returns to the membership site and completes a Wishlist Member registration form

Only after completing those 3 steps the customer is registered to the membership site as a member.

The problems of the regular integration process:

Although this kind of a scenario is the most common integration with a payment gateway, this kind of a flow can create many problems.

Filling the information twice – One of the most obvious problems is that the member that had already filled all the information inside the payment gateway form needs to fill it again when he returns to the membership site (inside the Wishlist Member registration form).

Login required in order to upgrade the membership – Another issue that can arise is when an existing member purchases another product / level he needs to pay inside a payment gateway and then, instead of filling the registration form he needs to log-in with his own existing membership details in order to upgrade his membership.

Solving these problem in a simple way:

Wishlist Auto Registration plugin solves those 2 problems, but when using InfusionSoft, the Wishlist Member for InfusionSoft service is better.
